Ever since I saw the Wizard of Oz as a youngster, I’ve been deathly afraid of flying monkeys. As an adult, I take solace in knowing that they are not real. A lot of animals can fly, even octopi (with help), but not monkeys.
Now I find out that there really are flying snakes. Not only can they just drop out of the sky, right on top of you, but they’re venomous.
